Many are starving in Yemen as it is, I don’t understand why there hasn’t been more help for them and this looks set to make things worse

I would suggest taking a look back on actual WW2 history. That just does not describe at all what the situation was then and what Russias experience was. Russia was an aggressor in WW2, they were fake best buddies with Hitler as they wanted to expand westward and basically wanted to divy up eastern Europe with Germany(until one of the two of them decided it was time to take everything). As soon as Germany started WW2 Russia eagerly jumped in with them and thought they were going to have a great time.
It wasnt until later that they turned traitor on eachother(probably always planned, but it was about who did it first). Germany and Russia were co-conspirators early in the war and only direct enemies later in the war.

I don't get how Anonymous work. Are they spread world wide? Surely it's not impossible to find them?As always, the shareholders at Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics & co. are the real winners here
Must be like pigs in muck that Anonymous group. Not often you get a free reign to hack into a major government’s infrastructure with little chance of repercussions in your home country.
Coffee and catch up time for me. Hopefully nothing too terrible.

Europe can't stop buying Russian gas. Here's why.
On Sunday morning, Gazprom, the Kremlin-controlled energy giant, said gas exports from Russia to Europe via Ukraine were as high as expected.

The outlook for the Russian economy is “dire”, according to one analyst, as the impact of western sanctions on Vladimir Putin’s regime began to be felt.
The rouble crashed more than 40% in value in early trading on Monday, slumping from 83.7 to the US dollar to 119.
A tough day looks in store for the Central Bank of Russia which has had its assets frozen as part of the sanctions and will be limited in how much it can support the currency.

“The situation is dire for the Russian economy,” said Christopher Vecchio, senior strategist with IG Group’s DailyFX.com in New York.
“Now unable to import or export goods and services thanks to the Swift sanctions, unable to sell foreign currency reserves thanks to the [central bank] asset freeze, and a Russian economy ringfenced from the global financial system, a currency crisis has emerged for Russia. High inflation is coming, as is an immediate lurch into recession.”
Other market moves include a 5% jump in Brent crude oil and a more losses on Asian stock markets where Putin’s raising of the nuclear threat has spooked investors.

I probably would not be turning up for work if they were my employer. I'd have had my cv out last week.

It certainly is. NATO feeds on the fear of Russia and vice versa. This escalates and look what you get...
Long term, after this is hopefully peacefully resolved, got to find a better solution than NATO.

Nothing says genuinely terrified of impending apocalypse more than posting about it all night on the current affairs section of a football forum.
